Tradoration: Imagine the Joy (With a Fathers Heart)

This track has a Dublin man contemplate the joy that must have been present at the original Christmas crib. Normally for our music (with adoration at its heart), and certainly for any liturgical music in a church, our rule has always been to have no strong rhythm and if possible no pulse at all. This is because for liturgical music you want to contemplate the higher things of the soul and the Divine and so transcend the physical world (hence why Renaissance music rarely had a beat to it). But for this piece being about how the Divine steps into our physical world we allowed ourselves to indulge in a strong rhythm and celebrate this physical world which God saw fit to become pat of.

Instruments:
Bodhran, Bouzouki, Guitar, Baritone Ukulele, Mandolin, Russian Harp and fiddle.
